Here is an example of the plants, they are 7-8 weeks into flower (not exactly sure but should be end of 7th week):
Seems like even the small buds are starting to have protruding growths that I can only assume is fox tailing, there is no way to view the trich's so that is the reason for my question of it being good or bad!
This has started in the last 2-4 days and the pictures do not "do" the buds justice as they appear roughly the thickness of an adults wrist.

Welcome to 
personally speaking, I like the foxtails. They are a good size to pop in the pipe. I not sure why they form, but more bud can't be bad right?

My Lemon Amnesia did it also. Not sure if it was from stress or if it is just a characteristic of the strain. I'll find out in a few months when I grow it again. Smokes just fine though.

it is normal with a lot of strains. Foxtailing is a good thing. generally means the flowers are ripened. most growers usually wait until they see foxtailing before they chop...but don't sweat it...happens on all my grows....and ive noticed that the less stress throughout the lifecycle of the plant increases the likelihood of foxtailing...just my input
Look at the foxtails on my buds

looks beautiful, what strain it is ?
Heat stress is even more damaging in the flowering stage since plant is no longer growing many new leaves. Indica-leaning strains are most prone to heat damage in the flowering stage. Heat damage during budding will reduce your yields by demolishing many of your most important leaves, while also causing buds to grow airy with ugly foxtails.
Heat during the flowering stage also causes fox-tails, which are airy and don't have much substance to them. The plant is basically "abandoning" the original heat-damaged bud to try to make a sad new one.

It's an auto Cheese by Spanish seeds. 70 days seed to harvest. Stickiest buds I ever did grow.
I disagree that heat is the cause of foxtails. My temps never go above 73f and I've had some beautiful Foxtails on my some of my girls. I do believe it's strain dependant too.
